Magazine reports: “Sam Lutfi,Britney Spears' former confidante and selfproclaimed manager better continue laying low. Not only is hecurrently being hunted down by the people who wish to serve him witha restraining order, but he is now also being investigated by policefor allegedly drugging the pop star.” Drugging they say? Hmm nowwhy would Sam Lutfi do such a horrible, horrible thing to his beloved“girlfriend”? Maybe to keep her in control? Oh yeah that's what ithink... and he's so idiot that he even confessed to Britney Spearsparents with the way he kept Britney Spears “under control”: Samtold Jackie and me that he grinds up Britney's pills, which were onthe counter and included Risperdol and Seroquel. He told us that heputs them in her food and that was the reason she had been quiet forthe last three days. He told us that the doctor who is treating heris trying to get her into a sleep induced coma so that they couldthen give her drugs to 'heal her brain.' ! Heal her brain? Ohthis is hilarious!... How can you heel someone's brain using drugs...what the hell is that? Oh well Lutfi, now you're being investigatedby Major Crimes Division of the LAPD... how do you feel about that?They're going to treat you two... you sick motherf**er... Obviouslyeh couldn't be reached for a , but his spokesperson confirmedthat Sam Lutfi is aware of the investigation!
